DAVID T. PETERS AND ALBERT H. GRANT, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

STORM SASH OR SCREEN HANGER.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, DAVID T. PE'rEas and ALBERT H. GRANT, both citizens of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State'of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm Sash or Screen Hangers; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to storm sash or screen hangers, and has for its object to provide a device of that class by means of which a sash may be pivotally mounted in a window opening.

It is a further object of our invention to provide a hanger having parts for retaining the pivotal connection between the sash and window frame, while the former is being opened or closed.

In accomplishing these objects we have provided the improved details of structure hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure I is a perspective view of a window frame, and screen equipped with a hanger, constructed according to our invention. Fig. II is a front elevation of same. Fig. III is a side view of a portion of the window frame and frame hanger. Fig. IV is a similar view of a portion of the storm sash or screen with its hanger. Fig. V is an enlarged side view of the frame hanger member. Fig. V I is an edge view of same. Fig. VII 18 a slde vlew of the sash hanger member. Fig.

VIII is an edge view of the same.

Referring more in detail to the parts :1 designates a window frame of any ordinary construction, and 2 the frame hanger member, the body of which is mortised into the inner edge of the frame side and abuts against the bottom edge of the lintel.

Extending outwardly from the body 2 is a bracket 4, the free end of which is extended upwardly at 5 to form, with the part 6, a keeper for receiving a cooperating hanger member that is carried by the storm sash or screen.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 8, 1909.

here shown to be an ordinary screen.

Patented May 25, 1909.

Serial No. 481,913.

The member 6 extends upwardly above the top of the part 5 and is turned forwardly over said part to form a top keeper for the slot. The horizontal portion of the part 6 is turned squarely from its body portion in order that there may be no tendency to push a hanger pin outwardly from the bracket, when such pin is raised in its keeper bracket.

7 designates the movable window part, Fixed to each edge of and mortised into the sash body, is a hanger member 8, the body of which terminates flush with the upper edge of the sash and has a bracket member 9 extended forwardly and upwardly therefrom. Fixed to and extending outwardly from the side of said bracket member is a pin 10 which is adapted for free revoluble movement in the slot of the stationary bracket 4 and has a head 11 which is adapted for engagement with the outer sides of the bracket members and for retaining the sash hanger in its cooperative relation with the frame hanger, while the former is being opened or closed, a lateral movement of the sash causing the head 11 to bind against the outer sides of the members 5 and 6, and prevent the escape of the pin therefrom.

Presuming the hanger members to be attached to their respective parts, and it being desired to assemble the sash in the window frame, the sash is raised to an angle of about 45 degrees, relative to the frame, and the pins 10 projected between the over-hanging portion of the bracket part 6 and the vertical portion 5 of said bracket and dropped into the U slot, formed by the parts 5 and 6. The sash is then allowed to swing into the window opening and may be secured in a closed position by suitable latches, a part of which is illustrated in Fig. I.

While opening the sash, should same be moved to the side, the tendency of the pins 10 to escape from their hanger slot is obviated by the head 11 engaging the outer sides of the parts 5 and 6, and should the sash be moved upwardly in its hanger, the overhanging portion of the bracket part 6 will prevent a vertical displacement. When,

horizontal portion of the part 6 and freed from the frame hangers.

Having thus described our invention, what We claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is The combination with a window frame and a sash or screen of a hanger body secured to each side of the window frame and provided with an offset portion at its upper end that projects outwardly from said frame, prongs extending vertically from said offset portion and forming a slot therebetween, the rear prong being of greater height than the forward prong and extended thereover to provide a horizontal entering slot, a hanger body secured to each side of the sash or screen and provided with an offset portion at its upper end, a pin projecting laterally from each offset portion into the slot of an adjacent frame hanger, and a head on the outer end of each of said pins, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
